He
boils tea over a tiny gas flame, then brings me a glass that is overflowing.
As I wait for the tea to cool, the man fills a plastic jar with gold coins
of sugar, and sets it at my knees. I slip one onto my tongue, and
let the warm liquid melt the sweetness away. We sit in silence for
more than half an hour, and just as I begin to doubt whether the man can
speak at all, he turns to me and smiles. “Welcome to Iran,” he says.
Are you crazy?!” my co-workers and friends say to me after I announce where
I plan to take my annual vacation. They are even more concerned when
I tell them I’m venturing there alone. “Do you want to get killed?”
Well, um, no. But then again, I never really have felt any threat in going
to Iran.. --- Esfahan

The
18th largest country in the world in terms of area at 1,648,195 km²,
Iran has a population of over seventy million. It is a country of special
geostrategic significance due to its central location in Eurasia. Iran
is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. As Iran
is a littoral state of the Caspian Sea, which is an inland sea and condominium,
Kazakhstan and Russia are also Iran's direct neighbors to the north. Iran
is bordered on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the south by the
Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and on the west by Turkey and Iraq.
Tehran is the capital, the country's largest city and the political, cultural,
commercial, and industrial center of the nation. Iran is a regional power,
and holds an important position in international energy security and world
economy as a result of its large reserves of petroleum and natural gas.

Iran
is home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations,
with historical and urban settlements dating back to 7000 BC. The first
Iranian dynasty formed during the Elamite kingdom in 2800 BC. The Iranian
Medes unified Iran into an empire in 625 BC. They were succeeded by three
Iranian Empires, the Achaemenids, Parthians and Sassanids, which governed
Iran for more than 1000 years. Iranian post-Islamic dynasties and empires
expanded the Persian language and culture throughout the Iranian plateau.
Early Iranian dynasties which re-asserted Iranian independence included
the Tahirids, Saffarids, Samanids and Buyids. The blossoming of Persian
literature, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, mathematics and art became
major elements of Muslim civilization and started with the Saffarids and
Samanids. Iran was once again reunified as an independent state in 1501
by the Safavid dynasty who promoted Twelver Shi'a Islam as the official
religion of their empire, marking one of the most important turning points
in the history of Islam. "Persia's Constitutional Revolution" established
the nation's first parliament in 1906, within a constitutional monarchy.
Iran officially became an Islamic republic on 1 April 1979, following the
Iranian Revolution. --- From
